Poor Ed O’Neill has endured a long streak of snubs before journeying to the Emmys, but now it looks like it could pay off Sunday with the ultimate Hollywood happy ending: an Emmy win.

According to predictions at GoldDerby, O’Neill is in second place to take home the award for comedy supporting actor. Experts, editors and users have “Modern Family” costar Ty Burrell out in first place, with Chris Colfer (“Glee”) in third, last year’s winner Eric Stonestreet (“Modern Family”) in fourth, Jesse Tyler Ferguson (“Modern Family”) in fifth and Jon Cryer (“Two and a Half Men”) in last place.
